Waterboyz for Jesus


 I’m privileged to be part
            of a local interdenominational men’s ministry
                        called Waterboyz for Jesus.

Scene One:
Time: Friday mornings (6:00am)
Place: Mountain View Diner
Event: Waterboyz 10-Man Table
Often we’re the first customers of the day.
Fran, the waitress, pours coffee and takes breakfast orders.
We come with Bibles to begin the day in conversation,
            prayer, scripture reading and application.
On a good day we have eight men at our 10-Man Table.
I go to support Scott, our table leader,
            who exemplifies faithfulness.
And I go to connect with Jim, a friend from church.

According to the Waterboyz website (HERE)
                        there are now twenty-seven 10-Man Tables.
This means that in any given week,
            probably 150 men are involved,
                        with about 300 men
                                    identifying themselves as Waterboyz.

Scene Two:
Time: This week
Place: The Clay family townhouse
Event: Extreme Home Makeover
More than 180 men and women
            are extensively renovating the home
                        of a family in need. (see photos HERE)
A similar project last year cost over $80,000
            and hundreds of man-hours,
                        all of it donated by individuals
                                    and corporate underwriters.

Another Waterboyz ministry:
            The 100 Man Choir (see it on YouTube)
